Dancing with the Stars Barbies
I don’t know why I get so excited, but I thought it was pretty cool when I heard that they were coming out with some Dancing with the Stars inspired Barbies. I was lucky enough to have the 3 DWTS barbies they created sent to me and as you can see from the above picture, my daughter and nieces loved them (aren’t they cute?).
The 3 DWTS inspired barbies are the Paso Doble Barbie, Samba Barbie and Waltz Barbie. The looks of the Dancing with the Stars Barbie were inspired by Brooke Burke, Kym Johnson, and Kathy Ireland. In our house, the Samba Barbie didn’t have enough clothes on and so it’s now a Snow White dress with the Samba Barbie. They are really well done and could be interesting collectors items in the future. Although, I couldn’t help letting my daughter not open them and enjoy them the way a Barbie should be enjoyed (we’ll see if my son enjoys them a way a son enjoys Barbies).
Here are the 3 DWTS inspired Barbies on Amazon for those interested:
Samba Barbie
Waltz Barbie
Paso Doble Barbie
My favorite is the Paso Doble Barbie. The rich red dress is a nice contrast to the dark hair. I’m not sure if having Dancing with the Stars Barbies means that DWTS has gone mainstream or if it means it’s jumped the shark. Either way, I think it’s pretty cool. I wonder if they’ll come out with DWTS Ken dolls next.
Here are some other pictures of my daughter and nieces holding the DWTS Barbies. They had fun with this:
OMG John!!! I love them and your adorable daughter and nieces. Sooo sooo sweet!!!! Thanks for posting. The looks on their faces are precious as can be. What a great collectors item and the perfect gift too.
I bought all 3 last time I was in NYC at the giant Toys R Us! They are going on a shelf as decorations in my “dance room” but they wont be opened! Have to hide them from my little sisters. :-p
In december, My sister is a teenager and literally gave me a link to paso doble barbie and said get me this for christmas. She had no interest in the other ones though lol.
These dolls are soooo cute!!! Don’t know if I would ever buy them though since I’ve never bought a doll when I was little and I don’t think that I’ll do it now 😛 Especially a Barbie one…never been a fan LOL But I have to say that it’s a really cute idea!
And John, yes, I agree!!! The Paso Doble one is the best! Then the Samba and last the Waltz!
I’d pick the Paso Doble Barbie too!
*Had to come in again and get an “awwww” moment. Those pics are just so sweet!
They are pretty cute huh? I’m particularly partial to one of them. She’s my little princess as you can imagine.
Such cute little ones, John. 🙂
Have y’all seen these? They’re not officiated with DWTS, but they’re called “Dancing with the Mouse” and I thought the were so adorable.
